Joad Kreel was a male Human living on Aquilaris Minor during the New Sith Wars. He was a childhood friend of Jedi Knight Kerra Holt, but by the time she returned on the planet alongside Devil Squadron in 1032 BBY, Kreel had become completely addicted to the spice Deluge. Despite his initial disinterest and hostility towards Kerra, he had regained control of his will sufficiently to assist the Jedi Knight in evacuating civilians to safety following an artificial global deluge unleashed by the Hutt crimelord Zodoh's fleet of Stormdrivers. With the assistance of Padgett, they succeeded in evacuating thousands of refugees to underwater harvester stations. He also began the process of ending his addiction to Deluge.
